Gary Lyon has declared on SEN that Collingwood is the team to beat in 2019.
Following their 11-goal exit from the 2017 finals series at the hands of the GWS Giants, West Coast were widely tipped to tumble down the ladder with the loss of over 1000 games of experience after the likes of Matt Priddis, Sam Mitchell, Drew Petrie and Sam Butler all hung up the boots for 2018.
My last few articles have concentrated on the players likely to disappear from the AFL top 100 goal-scorers list in 2019, so now my focus is the AFL top 100 game players.
The third member of the three goalkickers likely to disappear from the AFL’s all-time top 100 is West Coast’s Phillip Matera.
Given that the festive season is almost upon us, which happens to coincide with the middle of the AFL off-season, I thought I would take the opportunity to review a couple of footy books over the next week or so.
The draw for the 2019 AFL season has been released, and there are loads of highlights and matches that fans can look forward to.
Ah yes, it is already late October, and the footy fanatics are making their 2019 predictions in hope that this year will be more successful than their unsuccessful 2018.

No one has won or lost this year’s trade period, because you can’t be a winner or a loser this far out from the 2019 season. This column doesn’t crown winners and losers, but it does have views on the most important outcomes from this year’s trade period.
The 2018 season is the second time in a decade that, when the vibe of Australian Rules Football has wandered into a defensive vogue, West Coast has stepped in, based their play on pace and superior ball use, won the premiership and restored equilibrium.
There are three minutes left in the grand final. Collingwood have been hanging on for dear life for an hour now, but a ticking clock has tightened their grip on the premiership.
The AFL off season is upon us and every club is scouting the country’s best talent on offer to further their chances at September glory.
Following last year’s elimination final heart-stopper, I put pen to paper on how I believed the Eagles managed to short-circuit the Power, and snatch victory at the death.
